Scary as I am and I ignore almost all the miraculous and essential internet functions (I handle how I can with the platforms, since I have no choice but to go to them to see if I find certain films and series, that is, those of a lifetime), I am treated when they send me to see A ‘Like’ of Bob Trevino. They inform me that the approval like It is a button that is continually used on social networks. Well, how good people like so many things in a progressively disgusting world.
And my prejudices get a surprise. In this film those two people who have met through social networks are representative of good feelings. And I know that they have much more artistic prestige and also morbid perverse feelings, but good can also be credible if they express themselves well, without abusing sugar and empalago, without decorating them with easy lies and excessive sentimental manipulation. I follow their relationship with some interest and at some point what happens to them. It is an easy movie to see and listen. Not memorable, but beautiful.
And I know that so many imposture professionals insist on devaluing that adjective, but I know what it implies for me. And I watch too many horrific films with the rough, deep and author film label. And computer manufactured by computer in which nothing swams. That is, welcome is a harmonious and warm things like this.
It is directed by Tracie Laymon, which I imagine will be framed in that genre, school or whatever they want to call it – so celebrated by the avant -garde spirits – of cinema indie. And tells the beginning of a friendship through the Internet of two people who are unknown. However, both feel broken and very alone. She is young, in possession of excessive kilos, daughter of a pedigree, crying, excessively miserable and repellent, who even claims to her daughter the expenses for the potitos with which she fed her when she was a baby. This makes a living as he can and is hungry for friendship, another generous person and being heard. He is an ingrained immigrant, fifty, with the ability to establish communication with someone vulnerable and resistant, although he feels more alone than one. Drag a family tragedy and his wife has locked himself in a pain as abysmal as mute.
These two people will find a prodigious balm in their relationship, they will feel heard, understood and loved. To the girl, as miserable as a good person, that had never happened to him. To him, who exercises as a receiver, will also be well forced with another person, who also deal daily with a painful loneliness. And in the end they will happen unexpected and sad things, although communication between them was joyful.
And it is convincing, natural, humorous, mourning, helpless, perplexed and close a delicious actress, which gives off humanity and good vibes, called Barbie Ferreira. Also John Leguizamo. And salts from the room with a smile. For me, that is an uncommon gift.
